Anti-Bribery Certification

The Anti-Bribery Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) knowledge for employees, compliance staff and managers — fundamentals (what counts as bribery, facilitation payments and kickbacks), key laws and scope (the UK Bribery Act, the US FCPA and ISO 37001), risk areas (gifts and hospitality, third parties, conflicts of interest and donations), and the anti-bribery management programme (due diligence, training, whistleblowing and records). Written to the UK Bribery Act, FCPA and ISO 37001 for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Anti-Bribery and Corruption Proficiency certificate (SOA-ABX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Bribery Act 2010 guidance (GOV.UK (Ministry of Justice)), Transparency International: what is corruption (Transparency International), Foreign Corrupt Practices Act unit (US Department of Justice) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Bribery is offering, giving, requesting or accepting something of value to improperly influence a decision or gain an unfair advantage. It is not limited to cash — gifts, hospitality, favours, job offers or donations can all be bribes if intended to induce improper conduct.

Both tackle corruption, but differ in scope. The UK Bribery Act covers bribery between private parties and public officials, bans facilitation payments, and creates a corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery. The US FCPA focuses on bribery of foreign public officials and has accounting provisions; it permits narrow facilitation payments.
